Fairy tales are
a cultural legacy that have their origins in virtually every country
and every society known to recorded
human history.
Many of these fabulous tales have existed for centuries in only an
oral form and were passed down from one generation of storytellers
to another before finally being written down -- beginning around
the turn of the 18'th century. The Illustrated Treasury Of Fairy
Tales showcases ten of the world's best-loved fairly tales superbly
enhanced
with museum quality artwork which is as visually entertaining to
the eye as the stories are engaging to the mind's imagination. Enhanced
with the inclusion of a section devoted to "Historical & Biographical
Notes", the fairy tales comprising this simply outstanding compendium
include: Beauty & The Beast; Cinderella; Hansel & Gretel;
The Three Languages; The Fisherman & His Wife; The
Queen Bee;
Bushy Bride; The Sleeping Beauty; The Enchanted
Pig; and The Fir
Tree.
